I think you guys were at bit too harsh on that guy...I mean so what if he want's to think he has a Type-R, or that he didn't know much about its real specifications. Those of you with genuine ITR's should rest assured that you indeed have the real thing.

I see lots of pseudo-ITR GS-R's (and one LS even) around here in Cali, but typically the driver goes to great lenghts to hide that fact - only doing the 'conversion' if he has a White or Black GS-R (aside: haven't seen any yellow GS-Rs though, were there any made in that colour?)...its fairly accurate upto the one thing they can't do easily, and that's the interior and sunroof (plus the instrument cluster always gives it away). I just laugh to myself.
